This is a really fun read. It's split it up in quick reads with a series of questions and answers. I'm a sucker for wacky hypotheticals and this satisfies that with serious scientific answers. I was vaguely familiar the author's XKCD website, but this book really gave me a better idea of what Munroe is about. I was delightfully surprised to find his writing style so conversational and even spiced with jokes.

This has got to be one of the most entertaining and enlightening non-fiction books I think I'll ever read.

The premise seemed interesting enough, but almost put me in a reading slump. Maybe I'm not as nerd as I thought, I found it kinda boring.
This book was awesome! Epically funny the creator of xkcd made this fantastic book answering some of the most awesome hypotheticals and some of the most ridiculous ones. Doing it all with his infamous stick figure drawings and really easy to understand scientific explanations ( so basically an excellent gift for kids as well as adults.) honestly, one of the best books I read this year A+++++++++++++++++++ XD

Do you know a curious-minded young adult between 10 and ... 1000 ? Do they ask silly questions that have surprisingly deep touchstones that you sometimes don't feel qualified to answer? Do you like nerdy jokes?
Then this book is for you.

The audiobook kept me up all nights with wonder and imagination while Wil Wheaton narrated to me. I loved the possibilities and absurdities of it all.
